                            Volunteers needed

This is an opportunity to remind members that everything for the Society is done by volunteers, and we need your help to continue. If you think you could volunteer to assist with setting up and running the Zoom at our monthly meetings, please get in touch. We will provide full training. We are also looking for anyone interested in helping to monitor and post on our social media pages and/or being involved with managing this website. Further details on both these opportunities are available in the members' section.
